ABOUT

The start of 2019 has been very busy for the Volunteer Wildfire Services (VWS), with various ongoing fires raging in the Overberg region, such as areas in Betties Bay, Hermanus, Franskraal, Botrivier and Van Der Stel Pass. Midst all this, crews were assembled on Sunday to assist on the Kloofnek fire, which affected Lionshead and Signal Hill in City of Cape Town, causing massive damage to our beautiful mountain, wildlife and fynbos.


VWS has been combating dangerous and sometimes deadly runaway wildfires since its baptism during the devastating 1999/2000 fires in Cape Town and operates as a non-profit organisation, running completing off donations from the public and volunteers to assist with fighting fires in the Western Cape. 


We urge any private individuals and businesses to donate, assisting them in their continued efforts. Your donation will be going towards kitting out the crews with PPE (personal protective equipment), fuel costs, equipment and vehicle maintenance.
